Juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection—this garlic butter herb prime rib has a golden crust, rich marbling, and incredible flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

2–6 lb bone-in prime rib, boned and tied

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

5 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped

1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 tbsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Bring to Room Temperature:
Remove prime rib from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

Make Garlic Herb Butter:
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, thyme, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Prepare the Roast:
Place the prime rib in a roasting pan or large oven-safe skillet, fat side up.
Rub the garlic herb butter all over the outside of the roast, coating it generously.

Roast the Prime Rib:
Roast in the oven at 450°F for 15 minutes.
Then, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue roasting for approximately 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 110°F for medium-rare.

Rest the Meat:
Remove roast from oven. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes. The internal temperature will continue to rise to about 130°F, ideal for medium-rare.

Slice & Serve:
Remove twine, carve into slices, and serve immediately.

Notes

Cooking Time Estimate: About 15 minutes per pound after the initial high-heat roast. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness.

Serving Suggestions: Serve with horseradish sauce, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete holiday meal.

Leftovers: Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Delicious in sandwiches or wraps.

Optional Add-ons: Add Dijon mustard or lemon zest to the butter mix for extra brightness.
